On-hand will be CEO Olivier Thumerel, Product Manager Sebastien Gailleton, US Sales Manager Gary Blouse, Sales & Marketing administrator Julia Olivier and DSP Developer Thierry Heeb. All are eager to meet with dealers and distributors and provide details of StormAudio’s many recent hardware and firmware advancements.
Two Home Theater Demonstrations
Throughout the ISE event StormAudio will be conducting two separate home theater demos. The first is with Alcons Audio, where the two companies will replicate the active 9.1.6 set-up that won AVS Forum’s 2018 CEDIA Expo Best of Show award. Taking place in Hall 6-H150, this features StormAudio’s 32-channel Digital AES Edition processor and an Alcons pro-ribbon loudspeaker system.
The second demo is with M&K Sound, which takes place nearby the exhibit hall in historic Amsterdam. This is a 9.1.4 setup featuring StormAudio’s 20-channel processor. Information on how to attend the demo can be obtained at StormAudio’s stand (5-U59).
Dirac Live Calibration Tool 2.0: More Intuitive Process, Increased Functionality
All the StormAudio processors incorporate Dirac Live® Room Calibration. Now, with StormAudio firmware update 3.4r2, the processors support the new Dirac Live Calibration Tool in its 2.x versions (DLCT 2.0). This complete overhaul of the Dirac user-interface makes the calibration process easier and more intuitive and can be managed from laptop, with support added for Swedish, Spanish, French, Mandarin and Japanese languages. Additional enhancements include a phase correction algorithm for improved stereo reproduction with per speaker pair analysis.
“We have our greatest yet ISE in store for dealers and distributors this year. We encourage everyone to visit our stand and home theater demos and experience the technological leadership and support that StormAudio brings. All will be impressed. This is the year that StormAudio makes its mark,” says Thumerel.
